Orthopedic Specialists Explain Ways to Help with Employee Lower Back Recovery

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, back injuries are the number
one workplace safety problem. This means as an employer, it is your
responsibility to make sure your employees are not suffering from back
pain caused by work. The Bureau of Labor Statistics have said:

“More
than one million workers suffer back injuries each year, and back
injuries account for one of every five workplace injuries or illnesses.
Further, one-fourth of all compensation indemnity claims involve back
injuries, costing industry billions of dollars on top of the pain and
suffering borne by employees.”
